People should be free to study what they want, and they usually don’t get to. That’s because school is about learning obedience to authority figures for your future supervisor. Not learning.

Don’t blame teachers for this institutional failure.

    I teach at uni and instead of memes, I just make really dark throwaway lines. “Y’all need to turn this in on time. I can’t fail half the class… again”. That’s my least dark line this past week; I blame Craig Ferguson for me randomly adding “again” or “yet” to very dark or very flamboyant things.

    Mind, I teach social psych, which covers stuff like aggression. Tagging on a “except that one time we don’t talk about” in regards to murder is just, idk, fun.
